Roof Inspections

It's important to inspect your roof for hail damage . . .

curling or buckling shingles and tile damage along with other signs of deterioration. In doing so, you can repair damage before it worsens.

Hailstorm Roof Damage

The damage from hailstorms can vary greatly and hail damage leaks tend to show up over time. Different aspects that affect the type and degree of damage from a hailstorm can be:

Size, density and wind

The size of the hailstones can affect the amount of damage to your property. Hailstone size can range from pea-sized to golf ball-sized or as large as a softball. Most hailstones are not perfectly round with smooth edges which can impact the type of damage. Changes in wind direction and speed can affect the location and severity of hail impacts.

Building materials

Different materials absorb hail impacts differently. For example, hail can cause dings in metal roofs and gutters, whereas asphalt shingle hail hits can look black in color or experience loss of granules. Softball-sized hailstones can be solid enough and strong enough to puncture a roof. In addition, the age and condition of a roof could affect the degree of damage.

Wind Damage

Strong winds can cause significant Wind Damage not only during storms, but over time. Roofs are designed to resist normal wind conditions, but they can still be damaged over the years with high wind speeds and debris carried by the wind.

Natural causes

There are many natural causes that can affect a roof system. Remember, once a roof starts to leak, a great deal of damage could have already been sustained to the roof. Catching damage before water starts to leak through is a good way to save money with repairs or roof replacement.
